For intuitive counseling and Safe and Sound Protocol sessions in La Mesa, Christina Brittain - Intuitive Counseling offers change coaching, expressive arts therapy, and meditation guidance for clients navigating major life transitions including divorce, grief, career change, and chronic illness. The practice's Safe and Sound Protocol — a therapeutic listening intervention developed from Dr. Stephen Porges's polyvagal theory — targets nervous-system regulation for clients with anxiety, obsessive thinking, and trauma-related hypervigilance, complementing the physiological pain-management work of providers like California Pain Consultants in La Mesa. Sessions incorporate phone consultation, in-person appointments, and consciousness workshops at various San Diego locations, drawing on a combined framework of intuitive perception, somatic awareness, and expressive arts modalities. The practice's focus on reducing repetitive and invasive thought patterns intersects with the body-based rehabilitation approach at post-acute facilities like Grossmont Post Acute Care, where cognitive and physical recovery often progress together. Highest-complexity engagement involves layered somatic-emotional processing combining polyvagal-informed co-regulation, guided expressive arts externalization, and Safe and Sound Protocol auditory stimulation across multi-session desensitization sequences.
